Logan (2017)

The next Wolverine movie has already started filming and one of the producers has confirmed that they're aiming for an R rating.

“It’s a very radical, bold, different Wolverine than you’ve ever seen in any of these movies. […] I’m not sure what I’m allowed to say about [Patrick Stewart’s rumored casting]. I will agree with you that Patrick Stewart was rumored to be a part of that film. It takes place in the future, and as you and others have reported, it is an R-rated movie. It’s violent, it’s kind of like a western in its tone. It’s just a very cool, different film.”

At the moment there's still no word on the rumored "Old Man Logan" story, but it sounds like they may be doing it. The film opens March 3rd 2017.

Its supposed to be his last appearance. He was almost recast for the last X-flick.
Me personally,I dont think its the last we'll see of him in the claws. Early reviews are comin in for Apocalypse already kinda slamming it. Rumor is that Singers coming back for anothe X-men set in the 90's. So I see him coming back for that one. Plus there is too much history with Deadpool an now that thats a hit.,... plus the whole Ryan Reynolds history.
Also there is no way they adapt the Old Man Logan arch for this flick. Almost every mutant is dead an all the main characters Marvel owns like a Blind Hawkeye an the Hulk.
Either way Im stoked for a R Rated Wolverine flick. It's about Fucking Time!!
Jackman's been great, but this has been a long time comingits really the only way to do the character justice

So this is just a story about an old Wolverine, possibly with some kids and none of the greatness that was the original story.

Ive heard possible scenarios for them doing old man logan that get around the whole rights thing.
You don't need the hulk family for the story line, just an oppressive group that kills his family and Hawkeye could easily be switched to an xmen character. But they'd have to cut out a lot of the story anyway to make it into a movie. It would basically end up being a simple 90 minute revenge flick.

Hawkeye could change to daredevil (which actually might be better).
The oppressive family.... why not be lazy and simply make it magneto.
Chances are they wont cover any of the territories or anything like that, so it shouldn't be that big of a deal. Which if this is the case... yah... it somewhat turns into a story about an old wolverine that loosely resembles old man logan.

Well Daredevil is most certainly an MCU character with the whole Netflix show and whatnot.

But anyway I'd much rather see him in a "loner gets caught up in shady dealings and has to do what's right" kind of movie. Sort of like Roadwarrior but with more adamantium. There have been rumors that Mr. Sinister is involved which is fine I guess. I liked the The Wolverine movie the best because it was the smallest and felt the most personal (until the end battle which was dumb).

This is out of date but I'm pretty sure that Disney (MCU) owns the movie rights for their characters that aren't FF, Xmen or otherwise mutant related. They got back DD, Punisher, Blade, Ghost Rider, and Man-Thing after studios failed to make sequels to their franchises.

Yah it looks like he went back to mcu.
Either way, theres a dozen characters within the xmen universe they can use to take that role.
The whole old man logan story, outside of logan, is pretty interchangeable.

We're just going to have to disagree on that. The use of non-xmen characters and Wolverine's long history with them (specifically the Hulk) make some of the most interesting parts of the book IMO.

Interesting yes, but not integral.
The thing i mentioned earlier was that with the Hulk family, you could put any oppressive family or regime in this role to kick the story off. This could also be just as interesting i might add. What if they made it Maggys family? Or Mr Sinister's? Or even one of the current good guys? Hell, what if they made it sabretooths? These ideas could just as easily be as interesting.

Hawkeye, you could turn any old xmen character into a wiser, beat down, possibly blind, older character that can work with wolverine and has a history with him. Scott Summers, Gambit, Havok, etc. and have roughly the same character type. Personally id love to see Havok in this role as he seems to be ignored.

Red Skull, like Hawkeye, could be a number of xmen villains.

Beyond that its hard to say what they would include because we know even if they could mimic the comic, it would take more than one movie, which is not going to happen so theres going to be some massive editing going on.
But realistically i suspect it will be nothing but a revenge flick that cuts out the majority of the story, with a vague call back to OML, i dont see a need for any of the mentioned characters. You really get the sense that its just them taking the idea of OML, with the premise of his family being murdered and then going from there.
Actually the more i think about this, the more this could be an epic story with just xmen characters and could possibly be better (although im sure it wont given taht Fox fucks all their marvel movies up) than the original.

Of course we could be wrong on the OML thing entirely. IMO given all theyve said about it, i dont think we are. But its possible.
As i said before, i wouldnt mind seeing an Elsie Dee/Albert story. Could make for a solid 90 minute movie too.

If they really wanted to take it further, that hand could also be X23's and maybe logan dies.

Nice Johnny Cash, but looks very little like Old Man Logan. I hope it's not crap.
